Welcome

Please Join Us.

The Seattle Association of Black Journalists is an affiliate chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), a group of more than 3,000 African Americans working in the media. We are an organization for journalists, student journalists, journalism professors, advertising and public relations professionals.

We are one of the largest and oldest media groups in the Northwest. Our members work in public relations, radio, television, advertising, online and print journalism. They are editors, reporters, television anchors, executives, artists, video and still photographers.

SABJ is also a founding member of the Northwest Journalists of Color (NJC), a coalition of ethnic journalism groups located in our region. NJC includes the local chapters of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the Asian American Journalists Association and the Native American Journalists Association.

We sponsor the Patricia Fisher Memorial Scholarship. It honors a pioneering black journalist and has opened the door for many to follow in her footsteps.

SABJ has been the conduit to which many journalists have gained successful employment in the Seattle-Tacoma media market.

Please join us. Please share the talent and commitment needed continue our mission. BJ is open to those who make their living in journalism, educators and public relations specialists and students.
